HOWARD COLLEGE. Baptist male col- lege to which women are admitted, founded in 1833, on a farm near Greensboro, Hale County, afterwards refounded in 1841 at Marion, Perry County, and removed in 1887, to East Lake, Birmingham. The College was first opened in 1833 as a manual labor insti- tutlon as a result of the feeling of the Bap- tists that they needed an institution for the training of indigent young men who felt called to the ministry. The school was opened on a tract of land, consisting of 355 acres, which had been purchased from Mr. James Hutchens. The report of the Board of trus- tees made in 1835 shows that one professor of theology had been appointed and that six dormitories, buildings of one story in height and containing two rooms each, to- gether with a comfortable professor's home, and dining hall, had been constructed.

However, the sentiment prevailed in the minds of many of the friends and patrons of the school that the location was unfavor- able and the plan of instruction unwise, and as a spirit of unrest caused by the panic of 1837 was prevalent, the State convention, "at an adjourned session in December, 1837, ordered the sale of the property to meet an indebtedness of $7,000.00. The halance of $2,000.00 was appropriated to ministerial aid."

Driven by sheer necessity to establish a school to meet the demands of the denomina- tion, Howard College was organized in 1842. The Baptist convention, at its regular annual meeting in Talladega, in November, 1841, accepted the report of its committee on education, which recommended the establish- ment and endowment of a college or univer- sity of high character, and "that in connec- tion with the said college or university a theological department should be main- tained."

On December 29, 1841, the college was chartered with the following trustees: E. D. King, H. C. Lee, O. G. Eiland, James M. Massey, William N. Wyatt. Walker Reynolds, D. B. Bestor, Ovid C. Eiland, William C. Crane, William P. Chilton, James H. De

Votie, Edward Baptist, Robert J. Ware, L. Y. Tarrent, and Langston Goree.

The school was opened in January, 1842, with 9 small boys as pupils. By the close of the session in June, 1842, the attendance had increased to 31 students, and S. S. Sher- man, "a graduate of Bowdoin College and more recently a student at Tuscaloosa, was president and sole teacher." During the sec- ond session the faculty was enlarged by the addition of Revs. Solon Lindsey and A. A. Connella. A plan for raising an endowment of $20,000.00 for the chair of theology was formulated and presented to the convention in 1842. With the approval of the plan, Rev. J. H. De Votie was appointed financial agent.

In 1843 the treasurer reports to the trus- tees that he "has received of the Rev. D. P. Bestor, cash and bonds to the amount of $1,744.29, making the entire permanent the- ological fund $19,403.69."

On May 10, 1844, the College was de- stroyed by fire which fortunately occurred about midday and the students were assisted by the citizens of Marion in removing the library and apparatus. Only the frailer parts of the apparatus were injured. Although the destruction of the buildings interfered with the raising of the endowment fund, it did not cause a suspension or discontinuation of the exercises of the school. The Baptist Church and several other buildings were se- cured and there the work of instruction was carried on under Dr. Sherman and his as- sistants.

Due to the great liberality of the people of Perry County new lands were purchased, and a new building was erected in October, 1846. This new edifice cost around $13,- 000.00, and contained offices, laboratories, recitation rooms, and a dormitory for stu- dents. A complete curriculum was adopted, a full faculty organized, and the exercises continued in the new buildings.

The first class was graduated in 1848. Year after year since that time men have gone forth, some to carry the gospel to the ends of the earth, others to take places in positions of honor and distinction, both in church and state.

The years between the graduation of the first class in 1848 and the destruction of the college buildings a second time in 1854, were years of growth and progress. The institu- tion lost the services of its guiding hand during the years of its infancy, for Professor Sherman realizing that he had performed his duty to the college, resigned his position as president in 1851 to take up a school of his own. Dr. Henry Talbird, was elected as his successor and during his administration the endowment fund for the theological depart- ment and the school proper was increased. In 1853 the amount of endowment had reached $50,000.00, and many of its sup- porters believed that it could be raised to $100,000.00, and though many appeals were sent out the fund was never completed.

The first fire which had destroyed the school buildings occurred at midday, and the second fire which destroyed practically all

712

HISTORY OF ALABAMA

the property of the College, and caused nu- merous injuries among the students occurred at midnight. The lives of many of the stu- dents were saved by the negro janitor, Harry, who was one of Dr. Talbird's slaves, and there is a beautiful monument to his memory in the cemetery at Marion.

The studies were immediately resumed, and for a second time the Baptist Church was laid under tribute. Soon three new buildings were under construction, upon a more extensive plan and on a suitable lot given by Dr. J. P. Baron, a member of the first graduating class. The' chapel, or main edifice, containing society halls, a laboratory, library and offices was completed at an esti- mated cost of $45,000.00. Two dormitories, one on the north and one on the south, fac- ing each other were also constructed. The buildings were entered in 1858, and exercises were resumed in them during that year.

It is interesting to see the numerous ways in which the trustees tried to raise the eu- dowment fund of the College. One of the most interesting plans was that of the scholar- ship system. $500.00 entitled the giver to a permanent scholarship; any minister who sub- scribed $250.00 was entitled to a permanent scholarship; and any person or persons who subscribed $100.00 was entitled to the tuition of any particular individual through the reg- ular college course of four years. This sys- tem proved an excellent means of raising money, but it worked well for only a short time. In 1857 the people began to fall short of the payment of the interest due, and also in the payment of their notes. The trus- tees requested the holders who failed to pay for the scholarships to give them up, which was in many cases done. The most munifi- cent contributor to the endowment was Jere H. Brown, Esq., of Sumter County, who en- dowed a professorship of theology with $25,- 000.00, and in addition, assumed the support of 25 indigent young theological students.

The institution had just begun to get on its feet again having its new buildings, en- larged faculty, increased attendance, and promised endowment, when the greatest stroke of misfortune came in the declaring of war between the States and the seces- sion of Alabama from the Union.

In the excitement which followed the se- cession of the State, President Talbird, two members of the faculty and over 40 of the students resigned to enter the service of the Confederacy. The cherished endowment which in 1860, together with the property of the College amounted to $264,499.80, soon vanished. A part was later redeemed in Con- federate money, but the remainder was never redeemed. College exercises were continued under the supervision of Prof. A. B. Goodhue and D. B. Sherman, the remaining students being too young to go to the war. During the years 1863 to 1865, the buildings were used as a hospital for Confederate soldiers. Instruction was given to many of the wounded and disabled while detained there, and the work was very pleasant to those engaged in

it. Professor Goodhue, together with his son B. P. Goodhue, who had been detailed from the military service at the instance of Col. Henry Talhird were the instructors. Though the work of the College was greatly crippled during the war, its exercises however were at no time discontinued. In 1861, it graduated eight men, in 1862, two men, in 1863, two men, in 1866, one man, and in 1867, three men.

As the endowment had been destroyed by reason of the war it was found necessary to abandon the scholarship system upon which the endowment had been based and to de- pend entirely upon tuition to meet current expenses. The College was re-opened in 1865 with the following faculty: A. B. Goodhue, E. G. Thornton and D. P. Bestor. Col. Tal- bird refused to accept the presidency and after the meeting of the convention in 1865, Dr. J. L. M. Curry accepted the position. On the 28th of February, 1867, in his official position as president of Howard College, Dr. Curry wrote to Mr. Robert C. Winthrop, attempting to secure some of the Peabody donation for the College. The gift, however, was not made.

Dr. Curry was succeeded as president by Prof. E. G. Thornton who served during 1868- 69, and he in turn by Rev. Samuel R. Freeman, 1869-71. Col. J. T. Murfree of the faculty of the University of Alabama was secured in 1871 and served as president for 16 years.

Acting on a report of the committee on education the Baptists of Alabama decided to remove the institution to the young and flourishing city of Birmingham and accepted an offer which had been made to the con- vention at Union Springs in 1887 by the East Lake Land Company.

Upon the arrival of the faculty and stu- dents in Birmingham, however, it was found that the values of the lands had been greatly exaggerated, and that the people of Birming- ham were not as whole heartedly in sym- pathy with the movement as was thought, and it was with the greatest difficulty that $8,000.00 could be raised for the erection of two temporary wooden buildings for the housing of the school by October 1st of that year. Many were in favor of returning to Marion, but Col. J. T. Murfree, who had re- fused to leave Marion to go to Birmingham, had leased the buildings and had begun the sessions of the Marion Military Institute, destined to become the Marion Institute (q. v.).

In 1888, Dr. B. F. Riley was elected presi- dent and immediately set about to raise the number of students. Rev. D. I. Purser in 1889 succeeded Dr. Shaffer as financial agent and secured $32,000.00 in notes for the erec- tion of a permanent building.

In June, 1892, Howard College celebrated its semi-centennial when addresses were de- livered by Rev. J. B. Hawthorne, Gen. George D. Johnston, Prof. D. G. Lyon, and others. The debt of the institution in 1896 was $20,000.00. The faculty, however, came to the rescue and was successful in the man-

713

HISTORY OF ALABAMA

agement of affairs, and through the labors of B. D. Gray, A. C. Davidson, F. M. Roof and D. L. Lewis, the entire debt of Howard College was paid in full on July 14, 1899.

Dr. A. P. Montague was elected president in the fall of 1902 and served in that capac- ity until August, 1912, when he was suc- ceeded by Dr. James M. Shelburne.

Howard College was really placed upon a substantial basis in 1896, when the general education board of New York agreed to give to the institution the sum of $25,000.00 provided the Baptists of the State would raise the sum of $75,000.00 as an endowment. The College was made co-educational in 1913-14, and during that year 15 young women were matriculated. In 1916-17, a department of journalism was installed with Jasper C. Hutto as instructor.

The College now contains 15 schools, and departments.

College Honors .- Gold medals are awarded for declamations in the Sophomore and Junor classes. Mr. Milner offers a medal for music. A gold medal is awarded by a Mr. Smith to the student who makes the best marks in mathematics. Dr. J. Leslie Davis offers annually $100.00 in gold as the awards for the stu- dents making the highest mark in the lower classes in English. Scholarships are as fol- lc"vs: Bryan scholarship; United Daughters of Confederacy scholarship; trustees' scholar- ship; federation of women's clubs scholarship.

Degrees .- The College awards bachelor and master of arts degrees in the colleges of arts and sciences.

There are two literary societies known as the Franklin and Philomathic. The theo- logical students have formed themselves into a divinity club. A young men's christian association and a young women's christian association; the Howard Crimson Board; Volunteer Band; Glee Club; and athletic teams receive the enthusiastic support of the student body. Two national college frater- nities, the Sigma Nu, Jota Chapter, estab- lished in 1875, and Pi Kappa Alpha in 1911, together with Psi Delta, a local, organized in 19.00, are maintained.

Library .- After the collapse of the manual training institute at Greensboro, the library and remains of the apparatus were left there, it being the hope of the convention that the institution would be revived.

The convention of 1842 which reestablished the institute as Howard College ordered the books and apparatus turned over to the trus- tees of Howard College for removal to Marion. The following is a report on the subject which was made by the Board in 1843 (Proceedings, 1843, p. 10) :

"The library, which the convention di- rected the trustees to transfer from Greens- boro to Marion, has been placed in the insti- tution. It

contained 324 volumes of

miscellaneous works-making the total num- ber now belonging to the Howard College library about 1,000. It is still receiving oc- casional additions through the liberality of

friends, but contains very few books of theo- logical character."

The meeting of the board of education in 1843 directed the Rev. J. L. Dagg to transfer the books purchased by him for the convention to the college library. Dr. S. S. Sherman when he first came to Marion saw the need of a library and made a house to house canvass for books. Many of the citi- zens of the town contributed books and some gave money, believing that it would be quite an honor to be recorded as a donor to How- ard's library.

Very little damage was done to the library by either of the two fires. The books ren- dered great service to the wounded soldiers who were quartered in the buildings dur- ing the war of secession.

When the school was removed from Marion to East Lake the library numbered about 6,000 volumes. It now numbers be- tween 10,000 and 15,000 volumes, and each of the societies has a library of its own.

During the recent European War, Howard College furnished its quota of men to the service. A number were killed in action and many others were wounded.

The outlook for the College is prosperous and it is believed that the future will hold in store for it all that the men who first established hoped for.

the history of Howard College. It is mani- festly incomplete, and yet it is perhaps fuller than any ordinary bibliography. Reasons for deficiencies are noted in connection with the titles of catalogues, college periodicals, and Convention Journals.

Full titles, with line uprights, are given, in order that students may have a complete view of titles of all books or pamphlets. The colla- tion is followed by notes and explanatory ma- terial, given with sufficient fullness to enable even the most casual student to obtain ac- curate knowledge of the general scope of the contents of the particular volume referred to.

Alabama Baptist State Convention. Jour- nals. 1833 to date. 8vo.

Together with the Catalogues, announce- ments and other official publications of the College itself, the Journals of the Alabama Baptist State Convention constitute the best sources for its history. This is particularly true as representing the primary governing body, namely, the Baptist denomination in the State. Unfortunately complete files of these Journals have not been found, and in conse- quence the full text of the original resolutions, reports and documents have not been secured, except in a few instances. Very fortunately Holcombe preserves the originals of the docu- ments of foundation and other details of be- ginnings.

The first full report found and used in the sketch is from the Journal of 1843. Beginning with that year the Alabama State Department of Archives and History has a broken file to 1880, after which they are complete to date. Colgate University library, Hamilton, N. Y., where are preserved the longest and most com- plete collection of material for Baptist history in the United States, has a partial file of Jour- nals of the Alabama Baptist State Convention from 1836. Rev. Morgan M. Wood, Statistical Secretary of the Convention, has the fullest known file, dating from 18 -.

of Howard College; and there are sketches of Dr. Henry Talbird, Dr. J. L. M. Curry, and Col. James T. Murfee, presidents of the Col- lege. There are also sketches of scores of other prominent Baptists, intimately associated with the history of the College.
